A major disturbance happened on EVA Air flight 45 on May 25th, 2025, just before it was supposed to leave Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport for Vienna, Austria. A drunk plane passenger caused a long delay and a very upsetting experience for other travelers when he threw up on a passenger sitting in front of him right before takeoff.
The problem started after the airplane door had been closed and the plane was getting ready to leave. A male passenger, who was clearly drunk (shown by an empty bottle of whiskey and a strong smell of alcohol), got sick, according to Metro. He vomited on his own seat and also on the passenger directly in front of him. The strong smell of alcohol was mixed with the noticeable scent of ginger duck, meaning the passenger might have drunk a lot before getting on the plane.
